May Gid continue to bless this man and to protect him from the weak knees rulers who will try to silence him.

Cowardice, subterfuge, deceit, lies have things in common. There will be no guile in the mouths of those wh follow the Lamb wherever He goes. (See Revelation 14:6) Lord, please deliver us from these evils for none who participate in these will enter in through the gates into the city. Thank you Pastor Kelly for being faithful in presenting the present truth--the truths especially pertinent for the times in which we live. God bless us all!

The women of moral obligation as well. This was shared in a Bible study I am in. Speaks clearly to where I devotion lies, Unto the Lord, sometimes looks like disrespect to our spouse, but in reality it is love.
March 12: Abigail
READING: DAUGHTERS OF GOD, PAGE 43.
David’s Kindness Insulted. When David was a fugitive from the face of Saul, he had camped near the possessions of Nabal and had protected the flocks and the shepherds of this man.... In a time of need, David sent messengers to Nabal with a courteous message, asking for food for himself and his men, and Nabal answered with insolence, returning evil for good, and refusing to share his abundance with his neighbors. No message could have been more respectful than that which David sent to this man, but Nabal accused David and his men falsely in order to justify himself in his selfishness, and represented David and his followers as runaway slaves.When the messenger returned with this insolent taunt, David’s indignation was aroused, and he determined to have speedy revenge.-Manuscript Releases 21:213 (1891). - {DG 42.1}
Abigail Overrides Her Husband’s Refusal with Kindness. Without consulting her husband or telling him of her intention, Abigail made up an ample supply of provisions, which, laded upon asses, she sent forward in the charge of servants, and herself started out to meet the band of David. She met them in a covert of a hill. “And when Abigail saw David, she hasted, and lighted off the ass, and fell before David on her face, and bowed herself to the ground, and fell at his feet, and said, Upon me, my lord, upon me let this iniquity be: and let thine handmaid, I pray thee, speak in thine audience.” Abigail addressed David with as much reverence as though speaking to a crowned monarch. Nabal had scornfully exclaimed, “Who is David?” but Abigail called him, “my lord.” With kind words she sought to soothe his irritated feelings, and she pleaded with him in behalf of her husband. With nothing of ostentation or pride, but full of the wisdom and love of God, Abigail revealed the strength of her devotion to her household; and she made it plain to David that the unkind course of her husband was in no wise premeditated against him as a personal affront, but was simply the outburst of an unhappy and selfish nature. - {DG 42.3}
A Time to Act Independently. From this history, we can see that there are circumstances under which it is proper for a woman to act promptly and independently, moving with decision in the way she knows to be the way of the Lord. The wife is to stand by the side of the husband as his equal, sharing all the responsibilities of life, rendering due respect to him who has selected her for his lifelong companion.-Manuscript Releases 21:214, 215 (1891). - {DG 43.3}
Abigail Takes Nabal’s Blame. She then offered her rich provision as a peace offering to the men of David, and still pleaded as if she herself were the one who had so excited the resentment of the chief.-Patriarchs and Prophets, 665, 666 (1890). - {DG 43.1}
Womanhood After the Order of Christ. The Lord would have the wife render respect unto her husband, but always as it is fit in the Lord. In the character of Abigail, the wife of Nabal, we have an illustration of womanhood after the order of Christ, while her husband illustrates what a man may become who yields himself to the control of Satan.-Manuscript Releases 21:213 (1891). - {DG 43.4}
1) Nabal was a worthless fellow. Wealthy, selfish, insolent, he not only refused remuneration to David but insulted him, offering insult for generosity and kindness. What was David’s (unsanctified) reaction?
2) Upon hearing of the disgusting incident, how did Abigail override her husband’s refusal to help? Was this an act of submission?
3) How did Abigail take the blame for her husband’s reckless words? 1 Sam 25:21-31.
4) How did Abigail’s independent action actually show ultimate submissiveness: respect as it is fit in the Lord?

This is like the Christian version of politics. Happy to talk about issues but missing THE TRUTH (Jesus)

[@TheWatchman1888]

Before making a judgment call like that, watch the whole series

[@GoodMorning-uz4xz]

@@TheWatchman1888 I think after watching 50 min I can make a discerning statement. There is a fine line between not judging and not making conclusions on available evidence. I watched this message and heard 0 about the love of Jesus. I watched the ENTIRE thing.
